A separate shower in the bathroom rather than a shower over the bath. Being low season some of the facilities and restaurants were not open

Wonderful experience, exceptional vacation.
The hotel's interior is very unique The maisonette is charming The staff is exceptional, friendly, helpful The food is diverse and abundant The spa is great
Charging for drinks at the dinner was a tiny bitter drop during one of our best vacations ever. We definitely want to come back to this amazing place.

The grand tradition of hospitality at the Elysium Paphis
The Elysium is a grand Hotel in the best tradition of superb hospitality.These type of hotels have vanished in the modern age of package deals and low cost bargains.Elysium's quality and exceptional service by all the staff more than justify their premium pricing.
Prices at the Spa are quite high compared to quality alternatives in Paphos.

We loved our stay at this luxurious hotel! It was a true 5* experience!
We loved everything about this hotel: the welcome by the men at the door and the check-in experience was friendly and professional, our room was comfortable and the breakfast was outstanding. Since we visited during the winter, we loved spending time in the indoor pool and sauna. Relaxing with a coffee outside on the veranda in the afternoon, enjoying the spectacular view of the Mediterranean was a highlight.

A truly blissful honeymoon experience
We felt so well looked after at the Elysium, every single staff member made us feel welcomed and special, but especially Wiktoria and Demetrius who checked us in and took us to our room. We came here for our honeymoon and they decorated the room with candles, rose petals and a bottle of sparkling wine to make our stay extra special. The facilities are fantastic, we were lucky enough to get a room upgrade due to maintenance work and we’re incredibly spoilt by being out in the Royal Suite, and I don’t think I’ve ever slept so well in my life! And I have to mention the incredible food and restaurant teams! Everyone was so lovely, remembered us and welcomed us each night. We were able to try Bacco and O’Shin as well as the breakfast and dinner buffets- I don’t think I’ve ever eaten so much food in my life, and all of it was exceptional quality- my husband wanted to name one of the chefs Mudasir as he made the best pasta he’d ever had. I could go on and on about what an amazing experience we had at the Elysium, we were spoilt by our experience there and I can’t imagine staying anywhere else in Paphos!
Nothing- it was perfect

Totally what a luxurious hotel should be like. Not the first time I have stayed here and I shall definitely be returnin
The Elysium is a class above the rest. They have thought of every single thing to make your stay there perfect. From arrival with a welcome drink of freshly squeezed lemonade to the rooms which are beautifully decorated including a lovely gesture of welcome - a platter of local produce and a bottle of wine. The bathroom vanity trays are filled with everything you could need with soft massive towels as well as towelling robe and nice slippers. The Reception is very helpful and arranged a hire car which I had literally in half an hour! Breakfast at the Elysium is an experience in itself, ranging from freshly cooked omelettes to local produced cheeses, fruits and jams and honey, and including all the hot and cold breakfast food on offer. The staff there welcome you and immediately bring to your table coffee/tea and freshly squeezed orange juice! And if you have the chance to have Afternoon Tea or the Charcuterie & Cheese platters with a glass of wine ….. that itself is an experience …. the platters are not only aesthetically pleasing but delicious too!

Fantastic customer service, paid attention to every little detail. Really take care of you. Beautiful resort. Friendly helpful staff. Great food. No complaints. Would love to go back. Gave us a special treat for our anniversary.
Nothing really, didn't get to experience the pool which is a main feature. But that was because of the weather. Which couldn't be helped.

We had a relaxing stay, the kids were happy, and we were well looked after.
Very comfortable rooms, excellent staff, loved being next to the tombs of the kings and beautiful seafront promenade
Apart from the seafront, the immediate urban context of the hotel wasn’t great

Amazing beautiful hotel with fantastic staff and wonderful food.
We loved everything about this hotel it is truly a luxurious five star hotel with beautiful views and exceptional food. The staff are amazing so helpful friendly and professional. They went above and beyond to help with my needs and had an amazing gluten free menu of different wonderful foods. I will be back again soon and recommend this beautiful hotel. Thomas at reception is a delight and was so helpful as were all the staff. Thank you for an amazing holiday.
There was absolutely nothing to dislike as everything was wonderful.
